Priests are absolutely essential in EverQuest II and if you play one, you
know that how your gear and spec is of vital importance and part of being a good
healer. EQ2 Clerics, the Inquisitor and the Templar are not only amazing group
healers, but with their ability to equip plate armor, they are also viable solo
classes. To help you customize your Cleric to how you play, we have put together
two different alternate advancement builds. Get advice on how to AA spec your
solo Cleric or if you group more, we have a spec for that too!
